A microwave is a convenient household appliance that allows you not only to quickly heat up a dish, but even to cook it.

For example, you can use a microwave to quickly make an omelette or even a cupcake in a mug.

But there are foods that should not be put inside.

Eggs in their shells will explode in it, and hot peppers or grapes will more likely catch fire.
